4 Why firefighting in rolling stock? To increase safety To reduce fire-related damage To reduce fire-related unavailability To protect people and investments from fire To allow compensation measures on infrastructure See e.g.: NFPA130 Annex G ARGE Guidelines Italian Minister s Decree 28 Safety in Railway Tunnels and UNI The Smarter Way of Fire Fighting 4

5 Why firefighting in rolling stock? NFPA130 Annex G: the new revision of 2014 introduces the advantages of using on-board suppression systems The NFPA130 Annex G is the first standard to introduce the advantages of using on-board fire suppression systems for rolling stock! The Smarter Way of Fire Fighting 5

6 Why firefighting in rolling stock? NFPA130 Annex G Extract from the Annex G: Fire Suppression Systems [ ] have been succesfully used on a number of rail systems outside of the US The use of a fire suppression system may save lives in the incident vehicle during a fire condition minimize the damage to the train, tunnel and station significantly reduce the impact of designing for fire emergencies And many design improvements on underground infrastructure design please refer to the Smart Concepts to presentation The Smarter Way of Fire Fighting 6

7 Why firefighting in rolling stock? The ARGE Guidelines Technical guidelines developed from the middle of years 2000 by a working group, led and under the supervision of TÜV Süd and TÜV Nord, of German speaking-area companies active in firefighting in rolling stock. Widely applied all over the world and considered the state of art of the technical requirements and guidelines for design and validation. 3 parts: - Fire detection in railway vehicles - Firefighting in railway vehicles - System functionality of fire protection systems for railway vehicles The Smarter Way of Fire Fighting 7

8 Why firefighting in rolling stock? The Italian case DM Safety in Railway Tunnels and UNI A long and sad history of terrorism influenced nationwide public opinion and safety/security autorities: - Summer of '69 train bombings - Reggio Calabria riots and train bombings in ' Bologna Station bombing in 1980 Some particularly targeted trains in tunnels with, inside the 18.5km-long Grande Galleria dell Appennino, with high death toll and nationwide shock: - Train Italicus, 3 August Train Rapido 904, 23 December 1984 The Smarter Way of Fire Fighting 8

9 Why firefighting in rolling stock? The Italian case DM Safety in Railway Tunnels and UNI In beginning of years 2000, with the planning and opening of the new high speed lines (in particular the new Florence-Bologna HS line, 78km 73.5 of them in tunnels), the need of improved safety did rise strongly. The DM Safety in Railway Tunnels was released, introducing many requirements for safety and security: - Escape routes in tunnels - Quick reaction of rescue forces - Access protection (surveillance etc.) - Introduction of the mandatory requirement of fixed firefighting systems in all rolling stock running in tunnels longer then 1km The Smarter Way of Fire Fighting 9

10 Why firefighting in rolling stock? The Italian case DM Safety in Railway Tunnels and UNI For the technical application, the standard UNI11565 was put into force: UNI RAILWAY VEHICLES - DESIGN, INSTALLATION, VALIDATION AND MAINTENANCE OF FIRE DETECTION AND EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS TO BE USED IN RAIL VEHICLES Conceptually very similar to the ARGE Guidelines The Smarter Way of Fire Fighting 10

15 Passenger areas Smoke detection technology Smoke is the first effect of a fire. In an enclosed area as a passenger wagon, detecting fire by temperature means detecting it too late. By point detectors or by smoke aspiration systems Temperature detection: can be used in combination in extreme conditions The Smarter Way of Fire Fighting 15
